Most of our jobs are around the Greater Toronto Area, but we’ve helped a few customers from out of province. In those cases, their friends were moving or driving trucks and helped pick the doors up here.
This one came from a homeowner in Edmonton who couldn’t find the right door locally. We worked out the specs over email and phone, chose a model that matched the look of the house, and made sure it would fit the opening. The only challenge was getting it across the country.
This time, we found a couple of truck drivers willing to take a private load to Alberta. We crated and wrapped the door properly and coordinated pickup. The freight cost stayed reasonable because it went with other deliveries.
Since we weren’t doing the install ourselves, we helped the homeowner and their installer figure out how to measure correctly. We also sent layout sketches and a few photos from past installs to guide them through.
Looking to order from out of province? If you’ve found a door you love, we’re happy to help — and can guide your installer through the measurements and arrange freight or pickup. Just send us photos of your current setup, and we’ll take it from there.

Andrew and his crew did absolutely fantastic work! On time, very professional and very tidy. From the time we first met with him to discuss the installation and decide on the door (colour and style) to the time the door was installed it was perfect communication and he delivered as he promised. Thank you Andrew! I will definitely recommend you to my friends and customers.
We engaged Andrew to make a window in the existing balcony door in our apartment during the cold season. The entire project from start to finish was carried out very professionally, accurately and quickly. We are very pleased with the result as the window is of excellent quality, done on time and at a reasonable price. We recommend his services to everyone!
We badly needed a new entrance door. Andrew was patient and gave us very good advices. The quote was very good and we decided right away to ask him to do the job. The double door was delivered and installed on time. Andrew also very kindly installed locks I had bought previously. A very good good job indeed. I will gladly recommend to friends and family to call Andrew if they need a window or door job. Jf Masson (Toronto)
Andrew is an honest real professional. He keeps his promises in terms of time and deliverables and the price is very good. We replaced the entrance door and it looks magnificent. He finished the job very quickly. All-in-all, very pleasant to deal with and is highly recommended.
In the past years we have taken quotes on windows for our home from various companies, usually with a salesman. Andrew runs a very straightforward operation. You measure your windows, you can input your measurements in his website and that is what they will roughly cost. Then if you're happy, you forward the measurements to Andrew and he will quote you again and if you like the price he will come out and remeasure and discuss options with you. When Andrew said he was coming at x time. He was there. he got hung up in traffic and called me to say he was going to be a bit late. No problem. That he called and told me he was running behind was another huge plus. When I had other salesman visit, you couldn't help but get the feeling that they were trying to put one over on you. I didn't get that impression with Andrew. He's very "what you see is what you get" To be clear Andrew is ONE of the guys installing your windows. Not a cent is being paid to some slick salesperson. Part of the problem with Andrew's organization is that he didn't have a significant web presence. Not many reviews and not much to go on. However, I was very happy with his price and decided to go with him despite this. I gave a deposit, and throughout the time it took to get our windows made, he called me to update the status of my windows. Installation day came (Friday) and he mentioned that one of our windows had been cracked at the factory. He said he would install the window and have it switched out by either himself or the factory. I told him I would be withholding the value of the cracked window until it was replaced. He had no problem with that. Our job was stretched to 2 days (11 windows and patio door). When he came back on Monday, he replaced the cracked window. So am I happy with his pricing and quality of workmanship and the quality of his windows? Absolutely. I am so glad I waited and found this company. It made a huge difference in our budget. My only disappointment is that Andrew does not do vinyl siding or eaves troughs, because he would have gotten those jobs too!
Andrew installed a new front door for us. He was a pleasure to deal with. Straight forward, honest, and he has a great sense of humour. Most important he showed up when he said he would and did a fabulous job. We are very happy with the finished product. Thank you Andrew!
This is our second house that Andrew helped us with the windows and doors installation. As before Andrew and Vladimir did an excellent job. Andrew gave us the lowest quote, finished the job in a timely and order fashion, and the quality of work is simply superb. If you are looking for quality work at a reasonable price, you can't go wrong with Andrew.
Andrew gave a quote, provided detailed work information and a catalogue of all door styles. When the team came to install, they were on time and professional. There was some rotten subfloor, they removed it and installed a new piece. I provided the new door hardware and they installed too. Throughout, the kept the area clean. The door looks great and and the caulking was all smooth and even. I highly recommend them.
I'm happy to finish this project with Andrew. He has provided me a reasonable price, timeline and quality of products. He is a polite and hard workingmen. I am highly recommended to do business with him. Thank you for your advise and the job on this project.
